Food Allergies In Pets

Certain foods can cause allergies and itchy skin in pets. Beef and wheat products, like bread and pasta, are high on the list of causing allergies, but chicken and pork can also be responsible. Any of the meat proteins can potentially be the culprit.

To rule out the allergy-causing protein, we recommend a Single Protein Elimination Diet.

Single Protein Elimination Diet

Commence an elimination diet for eight weeks using any single novel protein such as kangaroo, goat, horse, ostrich, donkey, buffalo and novel carbohydrate such as sweet potato, pumpkin, kidney beans, lentils, barley.

-Treats can include dried 100% kangaroo or venison treats and fruits including pawpaw, melon, pear and Banana.
